"James was extremely enthusiastic and diligent about helping me find a home. He listened to my needs and wants and did his best to find many properties for me to look at. In the end, we found the perfect home! The sale was a complicated process and James kept me 'in the loop' of what was happening on the seller's end every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with him and I would certainly recommend him!"

"We worked with James to find a weekend home in the Rhinebeck / Red Hook / Millbrook area. The process of working with him was a pleasure from beginning to end. He is from this area, so he knows the region, the people, the other brokers. He is extremely patient, and never tried to push us to a purchase decision - rather, he helped us evaluate each property to get us to the right answer. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend James to anyone in search of a property in this area."
